Unfortunately we were delayed at the start, and had some down time between rounds, due to internet issues, but the respawn admins were really helpful and worked hard to fix the problems.
25 players was a great turnout. We were missing some big name Melbourne players, so its something they could build on for next time.
Thanks to System and Zain for casting for a while.
This was a relatively new thing for us, especially organising the Internet access system which was coded up on the Friday evening and parts of Saturday morning (hence the delay). We'll be refining it so next time, it'll be rock-solid. We know what to look for now! Internet is rarely something we give out to players. We hope to change that in the future.
It was great to see Mayo come along and support us with Tt eSports products and presence and Edd1e did a great job of running the tournament. Was good to meet PiG as well and see him play!
It was an absolute pleasure to have the SC2 community along at Respawn. We know there were issues at the start but you guys showed an incredible amount of patience and understanding while we got things sorted. You rock! This whole community rocks and we'd really like to have you guys back next time.
Shoutouts:
- Kez, took a game off TtPiG and had him on the back foot for a bit in other games too.
- Zardoz and the Respawn admins for being awesome and helpful (patient too)
- Welshy for being sick (as always)
- Eddie for running the comp
- Nicknack for being the nicest opponent (I accidentally LEFT the game instead of going to settings and he remade.. LOL)
- Everyone who played (25 is top shit, we should run SC2 comps @ IBISQ like City Hunter maybe??)
- Welshy's mother
- My one win against SaladDragon
- My first probe kill "CYA MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE" and even making people walk across the LAN to see what the hell I was yelling about.
